> &#x20;**You are solely responsible for your Recovery Phrase**. Without it, you will not be able to access your wallet. **Trust Wallet does not store your Recovery Phrase and we do not collect any personal information**.

&#x20;It is strongly recommended to **store your Recovery Phrase offline**. Write it down on a piece of paper and keep it at a secure vault. You can read more about the [Best Practices for Storing Your Recovery Phrase 1.1k](https://community.trustwallet.com/t/best-practices-for-storing-your-recovery-phrase/114) if you want to try other alternatives.

### Step 3 - Educate Yourself <a href="#step-3-educate-yourself" id="step-3-educate-yourself"></a>

Anyone who knows your Recovery Phrase can access your wallet and have full control of your funds. **When your funds are stolen or lost, we cannot help you retrieve them.**

Here are some tips to keep in mind:

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Never** enter your Recovery Phrase or Private Key on any website unless you know what you are doing.

**Never** share your Recovery Phrase or Private Key to anyone that you do not know.

**Trust Wallet** staff will **never** message you directly for any promotions or giveaways.

**Trust Wallet** staff will **never** have a reason to ask you for your recovery phrase or private key.

**Always** get news and updates from official **Trust Wallet** [social media channels](https://community.trustwallet.com/t/what-is-trust-wallet/189#social-media-channels) and this [site](https://community.trustwallet.com/)
